Assessing the effectiveness of conservation measures : resolving the "wicked" problem of the Steller sea lion [PDF]
, 2010 “Wicked” problems are those that are complex and that change when solutions are applied. Many conflicts in conservation fall in to this category.

Stranding trends of Steller sea lions Eumetopias jubatus 1990-2015
Endangered Species Research, 2019 Distinct population segments of Steller sea lion (SSL) Eumetopias jubatus have experienced different population trends over the last 5 decades, rendering the need for retrospective study. By identifying long-term stranding trends of SSLs we can develop a

Linking reproduction and survival can improve model estimates of vital rates derived from limited time-series counts of pinnipeds and other species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We propose a method to model the physiological link between somatic survival and reproductive output that reduces the number of parameters that need to be estimated by models designed to determine combinations of birth and death rates that produce ...

Assessment of Competition between Fisheries and Steller Sea Lions in Alaska Based on Estimated Prey Biomass, Fisheries Removals and Predator Foraging Behaviour. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A leading hypothesis to explain the dramatic decline of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in western Alaska during the latter part of the 20th century is a change in prey availability due to commercial fisheries.

Drag, but not buoyancy, affects swim speed in captive Steller sea lions
Biology Open, 2014 Swimming at an optimal speed is critical for breath-hold divers seeking to maximize the time they can spend foraging underwater. Theoretical studies have predicted that the optimal swim speed for an animal while transiting to and from depth is ...

Intraperitoneal implantation of life-long telemetry transmitters in otariids
BMC Veterinary Research, 2008 Background Pinnipeds, including many endangered and declining species, are inaccessible and difficult to monitor for extended periods using externally attached telemetry devices that are shed during the annual molt.
